== Modules ==
Nginx can be run with optional modules. You can add them like this:
  services.nginx.package = (pkgs.nginx.override { modules = [
    pkgs.nginxModules.dav
    pkgs.nginxModules.lua
    ...
  ]; });
See [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/servers/http/nginx/modules.nix#L69 this] for a more comprehensive list of modules available via configuration.

== Extra config ==
Apart native options, Nix allows to specify verbatim Nginx configuration. Some options are mutually exclusive.
Below table assumes "services.nginx." prefix for all options. These options allows to keep using Nix configuration file while taking advantage of Nginx features which are not representend in options.
